The Pros and Cons of Frameless Shower Doors

Frameless Shower Doors Sandy Springs GA

When remodeling their bathrooms or building homes, many homeowners choose frameless shower doors. Let’s explore some of the pros and cons of this shower door style.

The Pros of Frameless Shower Doors

  • Customization – Frameless shower doors are usually custom-created, meaning no matter what size your shower is or what size you desire for the door opening to be, you can likely have it made. With framed shower doors, you may be limited to the standard sizes sold at home improvement stores.

  • Visual appeal – Frameless shower doors are undeniably more attractive than shower doors with bulky metal frames. The shower looks cleaner, fresher, and more modern.

  • Lower maintenance – It is easy to clean the entire surface of frameless shower doors with a glass cleaner. The seal where the metal frame meets the glass on a framed shower door can be difficult to clean, and can even harbor mold and mildew.

The Cons of Frameless Shower Doors

  • Cost – Frameless shower doors do tend to be more expensive than traditional framed shower doors. However, given that they see and use their shower doors every day, many homeowners feel it’s worth the investment.

  • Leak prevention – Sometimes frameless shower doors, if they are not cut or installed properly, can allow leaks, because there is no rubber seal around the edge of the door like a framed shower door has. But, if the shower is designed correctly (e.g., the showerhead points away from the shower door, rather than toward it) and the shower door is created and installed by knowledgeable professionals, leaks should not be an issue.
